Gilchrist South

NOLENSVILLE’S BOUTIQUE LUXURY CUSTOM HOME ENCLAVE

Location and Daily Life in Gilchrist South

Gilchrist South sits on the border of Nolensville and Brentwood, just off Nolensville Road, placing it in one of the most strategically located pockets of Williamson County. You are minutes from both the charm of historic Nolensville and the conveniences of Brentwood, without the traffic or congestion of either town center.

Daily errands are genuinely easy from this address. The new Publix-anchored Village Green shopping center is about five minutes away. Brentwood’s Maryland Farms area, with its restaurants, fitness centers, and specialty retail, is under 15 minutes. Nashville’s Green Hills corridor is accessible in about 20 minutes on a clear run down I-65.

The location also puts you close to the best of Nolensville’s emerging downtown scene. Mill Creek Brewing Co., Amico’s Pizza, and the shops and restaurants along the Old Town corridor are a short drive. The Nolensville Town Square mixed-use district is currently in development nearby, adding long-term upside to this address that the broader market is not fully pricing yet.

For families, the school zoning here is a major asset. Gilchrist South falls within Williamson County Schools, sending children to Sunset Elementary, Sunset Middle, and Nolensville High School. All three are within a short drive, and the quality of WCS schools remains one of the top draws for families relocating to this corridor.

The Homes in Gilchrist South

Gilchrist South is one of the smallest and most exclusive communities in Nolensville. The enclave contains only six custom homes, built in 2017, set on private lots ranging from approximately 0.75 to 1.25 acres. The lot sizes are exceptional for this area, providing a level of privacy that is genuinely rare this close to Brentwood.

Ridgemont Homes built at least one of the homes in Gilchrist South, with their signature approach to elevated craftsmanship evident throughout. Homes feature custom details like wide-plank hardwood flooring, reclaimed wood accents, statement fireplace mantles, and layouts designed to function equally well for entertaining and daily living. Exterior construction includes all-brick and hardboard options, with multiple homes featuring the modern farmhouse aesthetic that remains in high demand in the Nolensville luxury market.

Floor plans range from approximately 4,100 to 5,500 square feet across two to three levels. Most homes include a formal dining room, great room with gas fireplace, eat-in kitchen, dedicated office, and a rec room or hobby space on a second or basement level. Three-car side-entry garages are standard. Several homes include in-ground pools, covered porches, and covered decks taking advantage of the private, wooded lot lines.

HOA fees run $400 per quarter (approximately $1,600 per year), which covers grounds maintenance for common areas. This is consistent with what you would expect for a boutique community of this caliber, where the dues are structured to preserve the common areas without overreaching.

Gilchrist South Market Data

Gilchrist South trades very infrequently given its size. The six homes were custom-built in 2017 and rarely come to market. When they do, pricing reflects both the quality of construction and the scarcity premium that comes with a six-home enclave.

Amenities

Gilchrist South is not an amenity-rich community in the traditional sense. There is no clubhouse, community pool, or playground. What it offers instead is something harder to find: genuine privacy, large private lots, and the freedom that comes with a six-home enclave where every neighbor chose to be there deliberately.

Several homes within the community include their own private in-ground pools. The lots are large enough that outdoor living spaces do not feel compressed, and the wooded lot lines on several parcels create a natural buffer that eliminates the typical backyard-to-backyard visibility that comes with most Nolensville subdivisions.

The surrounding area fills in what the community does not provide internally. Gregory Park and Nolensville’s trail system are accessible nearby. Williamson County’s park infrastructure continues to expand, with Mill Creek Greenway and additional recreation options within a short drive. Brentwood’s extensive parks system, including Maryland Farms Park and Marcella Vivrette Smith Park, is under 15 minutes.

For buyers coming from larger communities with resort-style amenities, the shift to Gilchrist South requires recalibrating expectations. The trade is more land, more privacy, and a more exclusive address in exchange for shared amenities. For the right buyer, that is an easy trade.

Why Work with Nashville Home Guru for Gilchrist South?

A six-home community trades differently than a neighborhood with hundreds of homes. There is no flood of comparable sales to benchmark against.

Nashville Home Guru, led by Patrick Higgins, is a six-time RealTrends Top Tennessee Agent ranked #1 in Nashville and #7 in Tennessee by the Wall Street Journal’s RealTrends rankings.

Compass is the #1 residential real estate brokerage in the United States by sales volume.

For sellers, our Compass 3-Phase Marketing Strategy delivers measurable results. Homes pre-marketed through Compass Private Exclusive and Coming Soon programs sell for 2.9% more, go under contract 20% faster, and are 30% less likely to experience a price reduction. In a six-home community where every sale sets the comp for the next one, those numbers matter — and at Gilchrist South’s price level, 2.9% translates to more than $45,000 at closing.

Is Gilchrist South a good investment for luxury buyers in the Nolensville market?

How does Gilchrist South compare to other luxury communities in Nolensville?

Gilchrist South is uniquely positioned at the top of the Nolensville luxury market by scarcity and lot size. Communities like Annecy and Belvedere Estates offer more homes and more active resale markets, but they do not match Gilchrist South’s combination of private acreage, custom construction, and border-of-Brentwood location. Buyers who want something truly exclusive rather than the best home in a larger neighborhood tend to be drawn to Gilchrist South for exactly this reason.
